Howitt Hall

The Howitt Hall RST has once again asked guest speaker from the TAC, Max Harris to present the "Looking after Our Mates" seminar for 2010.

 The seminar is designed to equip you with the knowledge necessary to help maximise your nights out without hitting any stumbling blocks. Props include fatal vision goggles and tennis balls.

The Howitt Hall Great Debate is coming! Come and listen to some of Howitt Hall's most prominent residents voice their opinion on the topic "Should we look after the environment?" and afterwards you can voice your opinion! This promises to be a fun-filled and informative event! Your opinion matters! Come to the Common Room on Monday the 29th of March at 6pm to let your voice be heard! (Snacks provided!)

This Thursday, 11 March, we're going to be brave and shave!

Howitt is taking part in the Leukaemia Foundation's World's Greatest Shave. Generous residents are giving up their time and their hair to raise money and awareness of Leukaemias, Lymphomas, Myelomas and other blood cancers.

Howitt Hall Society is throwing a BBQ, so come on down at 7pm (after our building evacuation) to support your Hall and to support the Leukaemia foundation. Click below to sponsor Team Howitt!

Want to improve your skills with English? Want to learn more about Australia and what makes it a great place to live? Want to meet new people and make friends? Then come down to the Ground Floor Common Room on Monday nights at 6pm for the Chatterbox program! Some Food and Drink provided! (Program runs until Week 5)

It's the first event in this, the Year of the Camel, and we're ready to party!

Come on down on 3 March at 6pm (after your floor meeting) to our Mardi Gras Dine In. The night is set to be absolutely packed with colour, glam, HHS elections, videos and slide shows from O week, and our first chance to get to know each other as a full Hall. You can dress up in Mardi Gras garb for the chance to win the coveted Howitt Best Dressed Prize.

Come along - it's a FREE two course dinner and drinks. It's all Halal and there are delicious vegetarian options.
(Brought to you by your friendly RST - Howitt Hall residents only).

A warm welcome to our new residents! The Howitt Hall RST and O week team have been working hard all summer to bring you an introduction to university life that you'll never forget. We're looking forward to meeting you this weekend and can't wait to show you the sights of Howitt, Monash, and around Melbourne.

And for our returning residents (Camels who just couldn't stay away!), hold on tight - only one more week until you're back in action, til you can meet the first years, and til The Year of the Camel begins.

Yours in 12 layers of love,
Shannon

 On behalf of Howitt Hall, I'd like to wish all of our residents a happy and safe summer.

2009 has been an incredible year for Howitt Hall, and, to our departing residents, we say a sad farewell. To those returning in 2010, enjoy your break, and prepare for another fantastic year at Howitt!
